What does Manhattan smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, so it holds up through a workday and carries into the evening. Most voters pick spring and fall, though summer and winter are not far behind. Daily wear, leisure, business and evening outings are rated almost equally, and most voters read it as masculine or modern.

The opening of cinnamon, violet leaf and bergamot is fresh, green and lightly spicy. In the heart, labdanum, frankincense, myrrh, tea and chili add a smoky, earthy depth. The base of vetiver, vanilla, tobacco and cedar rests on a woody, gently sweet footing. Guerlain Vetiver Extreme and Lubin Le Vetiver - Bluff have a close profile.
